Revision history [back]

Scenario: Two people with a brand new Jolla device decide to test XMPP instant messaging. They logon to jabber service providers, create accounts and configure their account in the jolla device and want to chat.

Currently they have no chance to start chatting with the jolla device.

They cannot add the IM information of the friends account to his contact information. They cannot sync or import the IM information if maintained in e.g. evolution. They cannot initiate a chat with the IM address only.

As I learned from some postings, they might be able to chat via pidgin or other XMPP software, getting the each other into their buddy list and would then be able to import the buddy into their contacts. As long as it is not possible to use the jolla instant messaging implementation to start from scratch, it is - sorry to name it - a joke.

It is also not acceptable that IM information in a contact card file cannot be imported and even less acceptable, that it leads to complete failure during import.

Let me know where and how I can help to make it better.
